downzy Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Still blown away by McConaughey's performance in the first episode. Dude has some serious chops and have never seen this side of his acting before. May be his best work if this show pans out successfully. Have you seen Dallas Buyer's Club yet? Because anyone who has seen that movie shouldn't be surprised how good McConaughey's acting is in TD. Have watched the first three episodes. While the pacing has been a little slow, it's definitely one of the most interesting shows I've watched in a long time. It truly feels like a movie that's been cut up into eight episodes. TD shows why television is proving to be a better medium than feature films. TV writers can take their time when developing characters whereas movie screen writers have to fit everything in to a two or three hour jaunt. Can't wait for episode four. When they showed Reggie Ledoux in his gas mask and tattoos, with McConaughey talking about finding a monster at the end of the dream, it has really got me jonesing for the next episode. The show seems to be bent on a slow build, as each episode seems to get better than the last. I suspect this show will have one hell of a cliff hanger, 'cause of right now I have no idea how it's going to end (still trying to figure out where the narrative is going to take us viewers). Hope it gets the audience to warrant a second season.And yes, Alexandra Daddario (plays Woody's mistress) is smoking hot. For those who watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, she was in the Dinner for Schmucks episode. Edited February 8, 2014 by downzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Last 20-30 minutes of the latest episode were crazy. This show is so damn good. Makes me excited for following seasons, but sad at the same time since Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson won't be involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Pretty amazing five-minute unbroken long-take in the riot scene. Haven't seen something like that since Children of Men. Fukunaga has some serious chops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broskirose Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Just finished the latest episodes. My fucking god, this is the best show on TV. I didn't understand the part where Marty left his car and went into the bar looking for Rust. Can anyone explain it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 He got worried and just left to check on him, it had been awhile and he didn't hear anything on the phone - he'd figured the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Agreed on the last 20 minutes. Talk about at trip. The last ten minutes especially, when they go to rob the stash house. F'n intense!Best two lines of the episode belonged to McConaughey: i) at the bar, talking to Woody: "With all the dick swagger you roll you can't spot crazy pussy;" ii) The last line of the episode "What the fuck do you think I want with you, huh? God damn, I'm so done talking to you like a man."For a show that started off somewhat slow, it has reached a fevered pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Some of the best TV i've seen in a long time was that last episode, may watch it again tonight just because the last 30 minutes were so damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, so good. It feels like a really long, but great, movie.I think I'll save a second viewing for when the entire season has wrapped. Pull a True Detective marathon while drinking!

Nobodys_Fault Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 That six minute unbroken shot of Rust at the end is one of the greatest things I've ever seen on TV. They built the tension up so well through this episode right up to that point where Rust is trying to direct the carnage around him then the powderkeg blows, and the whole thing goes to shit. Building that kind of tension through the last twenty minutes, even though we know the protagonist is going to be fine, is an amazing feat to pull off.

Guest NGOG Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 It doesn't air on Sky Atlantic until late February. I'll start watching it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broskirose Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Had to rewatch some parts to get a full understanding. Damn, this show is glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Another solid episode, and they are trying to turn Rust as the suspect as i'd suspected from even watching the trailer before the show had even aired. Don't think it's the case, though, there's gotta be more to it with 3 more episodes remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
